Abu Dhabi Hunting Exhibition Celebrates 23 Years
The Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Fencing Exhibition, held in its 23rd edition, is considered one of the largest global events that combines Emirati heritage in hunting and equestrianism with modern innovation in the sector. The exhibition lasted ten days and featured participation from 71 countries, with 2,400 companies and brands, and 55 farms. The event attracted unprecedented public interest, showcasing a variety of activities, most notably a falconry and Saluki racing simulation competition, displays of Arabian horses and traditional spear throwing, as well as cultural performances from the Gulf and Japanese rhythms. One of the highlight moments was the sale of a "Gyr Puar Ultra White" falcon for a record-breaking 2.1 million AED (approximately 571,000 USD), the highest price ever recorded at a falcon auction worldwide. This underscores the enduring significance of falconry as a traditional art and its deeply rooted place in Emirati heritage. The exhibition aims to preserve traditions, promote innovation, and develop the hunting and equestrian sector, solidifying its role as a driver of international interest in Emirati culture.
